Sweet, satisfying and sinfully smooth. Get ready to enjoy chocolate in oh-so-many ways – drizzled on fresh and warm mini donuts, made into spicy cayenne cocoa bites or even dripping in dark chocolate balsamic vinegar paired with blood orange olive oil – during the first-ever Old Sacramento Chocolate Week happening May 4 – 10, 2015. Coordinated by the Old Sacramento Business Association (OSBA) with support by involved merchants and businesses, chocolate lovers of all ages are invited to visit Old Sacramento to experience a variety of delicious and delectable chocolate-related activities throughout the historic district all week long.

Come out and see Cheer Sacramento perform for charity on Friday, April 10 at 5:30 p.m. at Badlands, 2003 K Street, Sacramento, 95814!

Cheer Sacramento will be the featured performer at Outword Magazine’s monthly happy hour. The event will feature two performances by Cheer Sacramento and raffles for attendees. Cheer Sacramento will be collecting donations after the performances for their 2014-2015 beneficiary, the Mustard Seed School.

Cheer Sacramento has been actively involved in the Sacramento community since 1999. Cheer Sacramento performs and fundraises at various community events, including Sacramento Pride, the Susan G. Komen “Race for the Cure” and the California International Marathon. Most recently, the team helped raise money for the Sacramento Gay and Lesbian Center at the 2014 Rainbow Festival alongside Cheer San Francisco. The team has even been in a Coca-Cola commercial.

As a mom of two boys, Tamra Rickman felt she needed to do more than just remind her sons to do their chores and finish their homework. She wanted something for them to do as family. She encouraged her sons to take up sports and thought there would be plenty of benefits to them being on a team.

“It gave them a sense of responsibility. It gave us something to talk about. Sports also teach time management, teamwork and being prepared,” said Rickman, whose sons have played soccer and baseball.

The challenge was figuring out how to pay for all the expenses associated with playing a team sport. From the registration fees, to the uniforms and gear, and in some cases, the cost of travelling to games and events, the price to play can be in the hundreds or thousands of dollars.
